Click here for our Vol'dun quest preview.\rPacto de sangre - Talanji is blocked from Zuldazar and we must cut her a path through the Blood Trolls so she can prepare for upcoming attacks by Zul's forces.\r\r\rCompleting the scenario rewards the achievement El Último Sello which then completes the meta ¡Zandalar eterno!.\r\rZandalar Forever Scenario\r\r\rIn this scenario, Zul with the help of Mythrax fights to shatter the final seal to Uldir, under orders of the Blood God G'huun. King Rastakhan kills Zul while Talanji holds off Mythrax. Bwonsamdi even lends his aid to King Rastakhan as G'huun has been meddling with the souls of the dead intended for the Loa of Death.\r\rZul, Reborn and Mythrax are later encountered as bosses in Uldir, the first raid of Battle for Azeroth.\r\r¡Zandalar eterno!:\rBwonsamdi has whispered a warning to me: the enemy is on the move. I have gathered what defenses I could in the time allowed but we are dangerously under powered. I can only hope that, thanks to your efforts, the loa will be with us this day. Are you ready to defend Zandalar?\r\rKing Rastakhan: Zul's treachery cuts deeper than I realized. With his rebellion, he practically depleted my army. Those still loyal to me are dying on the battlefield behind me to these invading, endless swarms of blood trolls. I should have listened to Talanji.\r\rThe battle begins with G'huun giving orders to shatter the final seal to Uldir.\r\rStage 1 - Prepare the Assault\rGather your forces and mount Old K'zlotec.\rStage 2 - Battle of the Silver\rDestroy the Nazmani invaders in the Silver.\rStage 3 - Secure the bridge to Dazar'alor\rSecure the bridge to Dazar'alor.\rStage 4 - Threat from the West\rRide Pa'ku to the Zocalo.\r\rPa'ku: Rastakhan! The snakes of Vol'dun siege your western border. Do something about it.\rRastakhan: Talanji, take de Horde champion and muster our forces dere. I will work with Krag'wa to secure...\rTalanji: Be careful, father. Dese are plans long set by an enemy beyond our reckoning.\rPa'ku: Something drives the Sethrak to attack. They are swarming like never before.\rTalanji: Dis champion tells us dat Mythrax the Unraveler has arisen.\rPa'ku: Well... that is... inconvenient.\r\rStage 5 - Liberate the Zocalo\rRescue the civilians of the Zocalo and slay the sethrak army there.\r\rWarguard Rakera: Form ranks! Warbows at de ready.\rTalanji: Rakera, assuming command of our forces, I see.\rRakera: Talanji, riding loa into battle, I see.\rTalanji: Dark times call for great deeds. How do things look?\rRakera: Dire. We are flanked. De loa are doing what dey can, but we need to rally any troll dat can hold a spear.\rTalanji: Champion, look for any civilians still in de Zocalo and send dem to us. We will follow as we are able.\r\rStage 6 - Follow the Pack\rJoin Gonk and his pack at the bridge to Dazar'alor.\r\rAfter you fight through, Zul is on top of Dazar'alor:\rZul: Come, Mythrax. Come, Unraveler. De final seal must be broken.\r\rMythrax appears and then heads right for the Zocalo!\r\rStage 7 - Meet with King Rastakhan\rFind King Rastakhan at the entrance to Dazar'alor.\r\rTalanji: Champion, de loa and I will hold off Mythrax for as long as possible. Find my father and put an end to Zul!\rRastakhan: Too many sided with Zul. Dere is only one path forward...\rRastakhan: Bwonsamdi, show yourself!\rBwonsamdi: Easy now, Ya Majesty. Bwonsamdi always helps his friends...\rBwonsamdi: Rise... rise! Don't ya be lazy now! Take up ya spears again and FIGHT!\rBwonsamdi: Hahahaha! See, Ya Majesty? Bwonsamdi always makes good on his deals!\rBwonsamdi: Jus' don't ya go forgettin' your end o' da bargain, now...\r\rFinal Stage - Reach Zul\rAssault Dazar'alor to reach Zul before he can destroy the pyramid.\r\rThe spectral troops, led by King Rastakhan, battle through Dazar'alor, facing off against the Mogu, in alliance with Zul after the events of Mists of Pandaria.\r\rThe climatic event of facing off against Zul is not visible in game yet--it's marked as an unimplemented cinematic. However, based on datamining we know the following:\rKing Rastakhan kills Zul. However Zul is then resurrected and transformed into Zul, Reborn, an encounter in Uldir.\rZul!? How is he alive? I saw him die by my father's hand!\rAnalysis indicates high levels of corruption. Hypothesis: G'huun reanimated this specimen and enhanced it. Further testing required.\rWhile the fate of the final seal is unknown in the scenario, G'huun's datamined broadcast text suggests the seals are eventually all broken:\rThe seals are broken. The end is here. Come, and be the first to receive my gift.\rYou fight against the inevitable. My plague cannot be stopped. It already festers within you.\rThe seals, broken. The titans, gone. The era of rot begins.\rSuch eager hosts. You will be the first to receive my gift.\rYou will carry my pestilence, and a vast, bubbling, putrid cyst will cover the world.\rFinally, when the planet ruptures like a giant boil, my rot will spread across the cosmos.\r

Reading this, I'm nearly positive that Rastakhan is going to bite the bucket before the expansion is over. Talanji has been propped up a whole lot, probably to replace him as overall Zandalari leader before they are officially unlocked as an Allied race.

I know it\u2019s in some of the quest text that Rezan was the one responsible for Rastakhan longevity and with him dead he\u2019s aging rapidly.

Considering we know that Zandalari\/Kul Turians are not joining their respective factions first thing I\u2019m guessing the events in Uldir will culminate in the King\u2019s death making Talanji Queen who will then join the Horde whom she sought help from in the first place.

He's ruled for thousands of years if I'm not mistaken. Plus Bwonsamdi told him not to forget to uphold his part of the deal which i think involves his death and his soul going to Bwonsamdi

It said they are there as part of an alliance with Zul. Which makes sense cause Zul the one who tried to unite the troll tribes and ally with the mogu to resurrect the Thunder King back in MoP. Makes sense there are remnants left still loyal to him.

I find it hilarious that the mogu stands against ut and yells stuff like ''You'll pay for what you did to our Emperor!''\rSeriously, we killed your THUNDER KING and you think you have ANY chance against us? Puuuhlleease.

Killing off Rastakhan would be a stupid thing to do though, troll fans would likely never let them live it down. For years trolls have had their heroes killed off time and time again, Rastakhan is one of the few " famous " one's left and I'd rather not see him be killed off for another characters development, especially not Talanji who has zero backstory. For once I wish they'd just let a famous troll live, Vol'jin and Zul'jin were bad enough.

The foreshadowing, this undefined deal with Bwonsamdi, and his advanced age pretty much leaves no other option.\r\rBesides, Talanji is getting a whole lot of positive screen-time in BFA, she's a very capable\/pragmatic battle-princess.

To me, it kind of boils down to this:

If Rezan is resurrected, then Rastakhan will have his patron Loa back, which means he can continue on because he's already absurdly old for a Troll apparently.

If Rezan is not resurrected, then Rastakhan will most probably die. The foreshadowing, this undefined deal with Bwonsamdi, and his advanced age pretty much leaves no other option.

Besides, Talanji is getting a whole lot of positive screen-time in BFA, she's a very capable\/pragmatic battle-princess.Honestly, I'm hoping Vol'jin will factor into this somehow, if he becomes a loa as some people suspect, in theory he could save Rastakhan, I'd rather not see him die.

This is Warcraft. Trolls always get killed.

Also Talanji is female and Blizz has made all Allied Races leaders female (Except Turalyon, but you could say Fareeya is the Lightforged representative)Female leaders don't bother me tbh, replacing established characters with zero backstory, bland and boring characters like Talanji, however is a problem, not to mention going down the same route of killing a character off to further another's development, they can keep him alive and further her development without resorting to what they did to Maraad.

So yeah I thought Maraad's death was "okay" and not stupid because I didn't like him that much but Wod wasn't exactly my favorite expansion either let's just say. I had my problems with it myself which is all I will say about it. I do know the story was ultimately scrapped because they thought it wasn't a story they wanted to tell in the end, which I get but I know that people may think it to be problematic.
